Tips on Learning

Hey geniuses. So currently I'm interning at a small application development firm. At our corporate office we have a junk network setup (unmanaged switches, little dinky wireless routers scattered around). My boss and a consultant are working together to put together a network for our office (about 100-150 users).

I was wondering, what are the things I should look for as they're planning and implementing the new network?

Ask questions, such as "Why are we doing that?", "What advantages does that gear give us?", "Why Fast Ethernet, and not gigabit?", "What management tools (snmp, nagios, etc) are we going to use?", "What about a firewall?"...

Sounds like a good situation for an intern to learn about setting up a new network. Good luck! :-)
